Quarantine Life: Day 72, Thriving vs. Surviving in Lockdown

t wasn’t until recently that I reflected deeper on what I expect from this shelter-in-place experience. Maybe it’s ok not to tick off every single item on my ambitious list. Maybe it’s ok just to veg and binge watch series after series (I’m looking at you, Netflix, Hulu, Starz, and Prime). Maybe this time at home isn’t necessarily about thriving, but surviving— focusing on wellness and being kinder and more forgiving toward ourselves and others. That shift in perspective has helped me adjust my expectations. I have my health and wellbeing. If I can accomplish a few goals on the side, then that’s icing on the cake.
